BALTIMORE —

The attorney representing Jordan McNair's family is calling for the firing of the University of Maryland's head football coach.

On Friday, the university announced members of the athletics staff were placed on administrative leave after ESPN published an explosive article about the football program's culture. On Saturday, head football coach D.J. Durkin was placed on administrative leave.

Attorney Billy Murphy said Durkin and members of his staff were not prepared for a medical emergency. He called their conduct "reprehensible" and said Durkin should be fired immediately.

Murphy said the culture created by Durkin contributed to McNair's death.

Murphy said there's a strong chance that McNair's family will file a lawsuit.

"First of all, a suit is absolutely probable. The question is, 'When are they going to do it?' I don't like to rush investigations, and we have a serious interest in seeing what may develop from the University of Maryland's internal investigation," Murphy said.
